(Trimpe) Tomm, Havana Junior High, Havana, IL) After learning about the basic parts of a microscope and an overview of the proper procedures for using them, my students visit 5 lab stations to learn more about the world of microscopes. I allow at least 15-20 minutes per station and provide all the materials needed to complete the activities. Download the Teacher Notes below for a description of the station activities as well as a list of materials students need. Unit objectives and extension ideas are also provided. NOTE: I developed this lab to deal with increasing class sizes and a limited amount of microscopes. Need more ideas for your microscope unit or want ideas for additional stations? | Back to top | Pond Water Survey (T.
An easy way to fascinate your students is to allow them to investigate samples of pond water (whether a large farm pond or small backyard pond.) A few years ago my district purchased a video flex microscope camera. Also available ... Organelle Wars. The Mudslinging Cell Campaign Task List - Ms. Menard's 2013 Honors Biology. The rumors, accusations, and chest pounding resounded throughout the community of Cellutopia.
Organelles, though normally an organized group working together well, are currently a fragmented group. It seems that certain organelles had the notion that they were more important or performed a m ore important function than other fellow organelles. "If it wasn't for us, you couldn't exist", shouted the mitochondria. "Well, I beg to differ! ", exclaimed the endoplasmic reticulum.

Cells unit - Collaborative Curriculum of AERO Science Teachers. Engineering Cell Division - a NGSS lesson. My passion right now is inquiry and really trying to develop labs that emphasize THINKING processes, getting kids to ask good questions and finding ways to answer them.
I am also using the NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards) to reframe how I teach. For example; for years, I have used the traditional "hands-on lab" of pipe cleaners to teach mitosis and cell division. With the new standards the focus is not on rote memorization of the phase names. Check out HS standard HS-LS1-4. At first I was broken hearted..I love teaching the phases of the cell cycle.

Scheppler, Nan Sethakorn, and Susan Styer A modified version of the Kirby-Bauer assay becomes a vehicle for inquiry-based science when students choose what substances to test for antimicrobial properties. This procedure can be used for guided and authentic inquiry and provides students opportunities to design experiments, draw original conclusions, and present their results. The Kirby-Bauer assay, also called the disc diffusion assay, is a standard procedure used in clinical laboratories to test the susceptibility of patients’ bacterial isolates to antibiotics (Bauer et al. 1966). In the assay, the bacteria are swabbed onto an agar plate, and paper discs impregnated with antibiotics are placed on the agar. Guided inquiry. PopUpCells%20%20Directions%20from%20AIMS.
